Re: Bull-it Armoured motorbike jeans new.

I wish I was a 32 waist, the only way I managed it recently was to not eat for 10days and loose half my colon…

Re: Oil leak through the ignition side

Thank you once again, I had missed the oil seal, fixed in 5 minutes. Undid the stator cover expecting a dose of oil to run out as well but nothing so guess I got it all right that side

Re: Oil leak through the ignition side

The seal was out of a gasket kit I think, gasket kit was genuine, I did buy a wrong kit as well so hoping I’ll have a spare Of course, just saying this hoping there might be another way, I have to take the stator cover off the other end of the crank to release the r...

Oil leak through the ignition side

Hi, Got to the point where I got my Z1000A1 rebuild running, lost of build oil smoke and all sorts, then noticed a positive oil leak from behind the ignition plate. I suspect the crank oil seal.

Re: Brake bleeding - air lock?

How do you tell if the master cylinder is the correct size? I’ve never seen them advertised by size … never had a rex but looks like standard 5/8ths They’re 7/8ths apparently, cheap off eBay though and doesn’t say whether it’s suitable for twin discs, thinking I should perhaps fork out for one from...

Re: Brake bleeding - air lock?

So, did it all and still no change. When I back bleed it fills the reservoir, did with the lever on and out. When I bleed normally I just get fluid, checked the hole and they’re clear. Really scratching my head now Tried to add pics but can’t work it out. Any more ideas what could be wrong? All comp...
